< Daniel 7 >

1 In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions in his mind on his bed. Then he wrote the dream and told the summary of it.
Babylon manghai Belshazzar kah a kum khat dongah Daniel loh amah kah thingkong dongah mang neh a lu dongkah mangthui te a hmuh. Te dongah a mang kah olka a thui te a cuinah ah a daek.
2 Daniel spoke and said, "I saw in my vision by night, and, look, the four winds of the sky broke forth on the great sea.
Daniel loh a thui vaengah, “Khoyin kah ka mangthui neh ka om vaengah ka hmuh. Te vaengah vaan kah khohli pali tah tuitun puei duela kilkul.
3 Four great animals came up from the sea, different from one another.
Te phoeiah rhamsa len pali te tuitunli lamloh ha thoeng tih khat neh khat hlihloeh uh.
4 The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings. I saw until its wings were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made to stand on two feet as a man; and a man's mind was given to it.
A cuek te sathueng bangla om dae a phae tah atha kah bangla ka hmuh. A phae te a poelh uh tih diklai lamloh a huel uh duela ka om. Te phoeiah hlang bangla a khobom dongah pai tih anih te hlang kah thinko a paek.
5 And look, another animal, a second one, like a bear; and it was raised up on one side, and three ribs were in its mouth between its teeth. And they said this to it, 'Arise, devour much flesh.'
A pabae kah rhamsa pakhat bal tah vom neh lo u tih khat ben ah pai ne. A ka khui kah a no neh a no laklo ah vaerhuh cungthum a koeng tih anih te, “Thoo lamtah a saa he muep ca,” a ti nah.
6 After this I saw, and look, another one, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings of a bird. The animal also had four heads; and dominion was given to it.
Te phoeikah te ka sawt vaengah pakhat tah kaihlaeng bangla tarha om. Te te a nam, a nam ah vaa pali kah a phae om. Rhamsa te lu pali lo tih anih te saithainah a paek.
7 After this I saw in the night visions, and look, a fourth animal, awesome and powerful, and extremely strong. And it had great iron teeth. It devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped what was left with its feet. And it was diverse from all the animals that were before it; and it had ten horns.
Te phoeiah khaw khoyin kah mangthui neh ka hmuh tih ka om. A pali nah rhamsa tah rhimom neh rhihom tih bahoeng tlung. Amah kah thi no a len khaw a ai tih a tip phoeiah a coih te a khobom neh a til. Te tah a taengkah rhamsa boeih lakah tloethoeh tih a ki parha lo.
8 I considered the horns, and look, there came up among them another horn, a little one, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots. And look, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking arrogant things.
A ki te ka poek tih ka om vaengah a ki ca pakhat te a laklung ah tarha cawn. A hmai, a hmai ah a ki cuek te pathum a phuk pauh. Tekah a ki dongah hlang mik bangla mik om tih a ka khaw a len la cal he.
9 I saw until thrones were placed, and the Ancient of Days took his seat. His clothing was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool. His throne was fiery flames, and its wheels burning fire.
Ngolkhoel a hol rhoek te ka sawt tih ka om li vaengah tampo khohnin te ngol. A pueinak tah vuel bangla bok tih a lu sam khaw tumul bangla bok. A ngolkhoel tah hmairhong hmai la om tih a kho te hmai la rhong.
10 A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him. Thousands of thousands ministered to him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him. The court sat in judgment, and the books were opened.
Hmai sok te anih taeng lamloh phuet tih long. A thawng a thawng loh thotat uh tih amah taengah a sang a sang la pai uh. Laitloeknah te a hol tih cabu a rha uh.
11 I saw at that time because of the voice of the arrogant words which the horn spoke. I was watching until the animal was killed and its body destroyed and was given to be burned with fire.
Ka sawt tih ka om vaengah a ki loh a thui boeilen olka ol dongah rhamsa a ngawn hil ka om tih ka sawt. Te vaengah a pum te a thup pah tih hmaitak hmaisai khuila a pup.
12 As for the rest of the animals, their dominion was taken away, yet their lives were prolonged for a season and a time.
Rhamsa tloe rhoek te a saithainah a khoe pah dae amih hingnah ham te khoning neh a tue a congnah la a paek.
13 I saw in the night visions, and look, there came with the clouds of the sky one like a son of man, and he came even to the Ancient of Days, and they brought him near before him.
Khoyin mangthui neh ka om tih ka hmuh. Te vaengah hlang capa phek te vaan kah khomai neh tarha ha pai tih tampo khohnin te a paan. Te phoeiah anih te amah taengla a nawn.
14 There was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and languages should serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
A taengah saithainah neh thangpomnah neh ram khaw a paek coeng. Te dongah namtu pilnam boeih neh olcom olcae loh amah te a bawk uh. A saithainah khaw kumhal kah saithainah la om tih nong mahpawh. Te dongah a ram he tim tlaih mahpawh.
15 As for me, Daniel, my spirit was grieved in the midst of my body, and the visions of my mind troubled me.
Kai Daniel he ka pum khui ah ka mueihla mawn tih ka lu kah mangthui loh kamah n'cahawh.
16 I came near to one of those who stood by, and asked him the true meaning concerning all this. So he told me, and revealed to me the interpretation of these things.
Aka pai khuikah pakhat te ka paan tih a cungkuem te anih taengah rhep ka dawt. Te dongah kai hamla a thui tih ol kah thuingaihnah te kai m'ming sak.
17 These great animals, which are four, are four kings, who shall arise out of the earth.
Amih rhamsa len pali he tah diklai lamloh manghai pali pai ni.
18 But the holy ones of the Most High shall receive the kingdom, and possess the kingdom forever, forever and ever.
Tedae ram te sangkoek kah aka cim rhoek loh a dang uh vetih ram te dungyan duela a pang uh ni. Dungyan kah dungyan duela a pang ni.
19 Then I desired to know the true meaning concerning the fourth animal, which was different from all of them, exceedingly terrible, whose teeth were of iron, and its claws of bronze; which devoured, broke in pieces, and stamped what was left with its feet.
Te vaengah rhamsa pali te oltak la ka ngaih. Amih boeih te a cungkuem dongah a hlihloeh la om tih a no mah bahoeng a rhimom. A no te thi tih a kuttin te rhohum, a hnom tih a ai phoeikah a coih te a khobom neh a til.
20 And concerning the ten horns that were on its head, and the other horn which came up, and before which three fell, even that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spoke arrogant things, whose look was larger than the others.
A lu dongkah a ki parha neh pakhat aka cawn te khaw, a taengah pathum rhoek a rhul la a rhul te khaw, ki loh a mik a khueh bal tih a ka loh a len la a cal khaw, a hui lakah a mangthui a len kawng khaw ka ngaih.
21 I saw, and the same horn made war with the holy ones, and prevailed against them,
Ka om tih ka sawt vaengah tekah ki loh hlang cim rhoek taengah caemtloeknah a saii tih amih te a noeng uh.
22 until the Ancient of Days came, and judgment was given to the holy ones of the Most High, and the time came that the holy ones possessed the kingdom.
Tampo khohnin a pai hil laitloeknah he sangkoek kah a cim rhoek ham a paek coeng. Te dongah a tue a pha vaengah ram he aka cim rhoek loh a pang uh.
23 This he said, 'The fourth animal shall be a fourth kingdom on earth, which shall be different from all the kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
Rhamsa a pali te, “Diklai ah ram a pali, pali la om ni. Te tah ram boeih lakah tloethoeh vetih diklai pum he a hnom ni. A taelh vetih a tip sak ni,” a ti.
24 As for the ten horns, out of this kingdom shall ten kings arise, and another shall arise after them; and he shall be diverse from the former, and he shall put down three kings.
Ki parha tah ram khui lamloh manghai parha pai vetih amih lamloh a tloe phoe bal ni. Anih tah a cuek kah lakah tloethoeh vetih manghai pathum rhoek te a kunyun sak ni.
25 He shall speak words against the Most High, and shall oppress the holy ones of the Most High; and he shall think to change the times and the law; and they shall be given over to him until a time and times and half a time.
Sangkoek kah sangkoek soehsalnah te ol la a thui vetih sangkoek kah a cim rhoek te a hnaemtaek ni. Khoning neh oltlueh te thovael hamla cai vetih a kut ah a tue neh kum dongkah kum rhakthuem a paek ni.
26 And the court shall sit in judgment, and they shall take away his dominion, consumed and completely destroyed forever.
Tedae laitloeknah a khueh vetih yoop ham neh a bawtnah hil thup hamla anih kah saithainah te a khoe pah ni.
27 The kingdom and the dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the holy ones of the Most High. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.'
Te vaengah ram neh saithainah khaw, vaan pum hmuiah ram kah lennah khaw sangkoek kah a cim pilnam taengah a paek ni. A ram he dungyan ram la a om dongah khohung boeih loh anih taengah tho a thueng uh vetih boe a ngai uh ni.
28 Here is the end of the matter. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts troubled me greatly, and my face turned pale. I kept the matter to myself."
He hil he ol bawtnah la om. Kai Daniel khaw, ka poeknah yet tih kamah n'cahawh. Te dongah ka aa khaw kai soah yat dae ol he ka lungbuei ah ka khoem.
